Former Opryland 2-4-4T during its brief operation on the relaid tracks through the Doe River Gorge in Tennessee, the former ET&WNC line. I think the engine is now in Texas somewhere?http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?february04/02-16-04/PA205960-Rachel-gone-from-DoeRiverGorge.jpg

"Rachel" was donated to the City of Grapevine, Texas, where Gaylord Entertainment (the parent of Opryland and the locomotives' former owner) recently opened their gargantuan resort hotel/convention center, the "Gaylord Texan". The locomotive is currently stored in the Fort Worth & Western shop in Grapevine.Some submitted photos of the engine in Texas, as well as a 'blurb', can be found in the Spring '05 "On Track" issue (news briefs section)http://www.bjwrr.com/ontrack/springbriefs.htm
